  • Bring back Internet Explorer.

  • Uh, what? Earthquakes and volcanoes due to climate changes?

  • Iguanodon shivving fools with his thumbs will never be outdated in my heart.

  • I studied German in high school but I don't remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.

  • Meanwhile it's 69 degrees in San Francisco right now.

    (I'm stuck in New York where "87 feels like 95".)

  • Aren't souls canonically real in the Marvel universe? I expect that only the piece with the soul regenerates.

  • Ladybugs are predators too and they look cute. You have no excuse.

  • ribbit

    Jump
  • It's funny because endocrine-disputing chemicals dumped by humans really are messing frogs up quite badly, but now you can't bring it up without people getting the wrong idea about your political views...

  • In my experience, it's actually the other way around: physicists can think in terms of equations, without having to visualize them. I generally can't do that myself - I would get frustrated at talks where the presenter just had slide after slide of equations but some people could read those slides the way I read ordinary English text.

  • Note that you can turn the ads off quickly and easily. I agree that there's someone off-putting about an operating system with built-in ads, but a tech-savvy person will see them once and then never again. (A person who isn't tech-savvy probably won't care.)

  • I figure the title is meant to be interpreted as "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers". He's the main character and the book is about his adventures with them. What does bother me is the total lack of muskets.

  • I am static_casting the nut_t*. Pray I don't static_cast it any further.

  • People only figured out the mechanics of plate tectonics relatively recently. However, they started noticing that the continents looked like they had fit together as soon as they had accurate maps to look at. In the late 1500's

    Abraham Ortelius in his work Thesaurus Geographicus … suggested that the Americas were "torn away from Europe and Africa … by earthquakes and floods" and went on to say: "The vestiges of the rupture reveal themselves, if someone brings forward a map of the world and considers carefully the coasts of the three [continents]."

    Wikipedia link.

  • There's a legend that the Roman Emperor Tiberius executed the inventor of flexible glass.

    After the inventor swore that he was the only man alive who knew the manufacturing technique, Tiberius had the man beheaded. He feared that the glass would devalue gold and silver, since the material might be more valuable.

    So y'all better watch out with any plastic...

  • I hate how crafting systems work in most games...

    What I want: meaningful decisions about how to customize my character's equipment.

    What I get: clicking all over the place like it's a 90's adventure game to collect pieces of shit so that I can put together a giant turd.
